Atlassian is a great company with great people
Atlassian is a great company with great people
- The people, the people, the people
- The large product suite (Bitbucket, Trello, Confluence, etc.)
- The founders' vision
The pay is not competitive. The company thinks it is very competitive on salary, but it is not. Over my 3 years at the company, I received:
- A year-long company-wide pay freeze.
- A pretty big pay cut (we're talking 20%) while moving locations.
- Our stock price crushed by the market.
There is no real focus on reliability and performance. I don't think the company as a whole really understands how this is preventing us from achieving our goals (100m MAU, 25k employees).
I think managers at the M3/M4 level are great. The manager training program looks very efficient at converting senior engineers into capable managers.
